{"product_id":"a-perfect-circle-thirteenth-step-2-lp","title":"A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step (2 LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith its sophomore effort, THIRTEENTH STEP, A Perfect Circle permanently sheds any clinging notions of being a Tool side-project. Although Maynard James Keenan's plaintive vocals immediately conjure up thoughts of his other outfit, APC distinguishes itself by furthering the melodic elements present on the group's first outing, MER DE NOMS. \"The Package\" starts things off slowly, with a foreboding guitar line and minimal drum cadence that gradually build into a full-blown Sabbath-like dirge. Carried along by the fluid bass playing of Jeordie White (formerly known as Twiggy Ramirez of Marilyn Manson), \"The Noose\" gives a tip of the hat to the Cure's gloomiest work, while White and guitarist Billy Howerdel create an entrancingly chiming bass\/guitar tapestry on \"Blue.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough many of the album's tracks surge with APC's powerful metal riffs, the folky \"A Stranger\" and the lush \"The Nurse Who Loved Me\" both feature Keenan's voice supported by a gorgeous bed of strings and little else. A cycle that touches on themes of corruption, despair, and redemption, THIRTEENTH STEP is brought to a fitting conclusion by \"Gravity,\" a powerful song that captures both the dark and light aspects of this fascinating band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Perfect Circle: Maynard James Keenan (vocals, gourd); Billy Howerdel (guitar, piano, bass, programming, background vocals); Troy Van Leeuwen (guitar); Jeordie White (bass); Josh Freese (drums, percussion).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemember, for our lowest prices, always order directly from \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(184, 49, 47);\"\u003e Joco Records\u003c\/span\u003e!\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 The Package 7:40\u003cbr\u003eA2 Weak And Powerless 3:15\u003cbr\u003eA3 The Noose 4:53\u003cbr\u003eB1 Blue 4:13\u003cbr\u003eB2 Vanishing 4:51\u003cbr\u003eB3 A Stranger 3:12\u003cbr\u003eC1 The Outsider 4:06\u003cbr\u003eC2 Crimes 2:34\u003cbr\u003eC3 The Nurse Who Loved Me 4:04\u003cbr\u003eD1 Pet 4:34\u003cbr\u003eD2 Lullaby 2:01\u003cbr\u003eD3 Gravity 5:08\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joco Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48097618428163,"sku":"XZBIIH-ZNZ1-00","price":33.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/phishstonesproducts.myshopify.com\/products\/a-perfect-circle-thirteenth-step-2-lp","provider":"PhishStones Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
